Hearthstone, Blizzard’s card-based PC title with a beta that’s seemingly taking the internet by storm, has just begun its long journey in the market. It’s still an unfinished product with plenty of room for growth, and the developer has come out with a survey for fans to help highlight what features would best suit the game in the future.
Two questions on the survey, pointed out by Eurogamer, really stand out. First, the developers ask, "What new features would you be excited about Blizzard adding to Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft?" Here’s the full list of answers, including raids, paid tournaments, and a few fundamental gameplay changes:
· Friends list tie-in with social media (Facebook, Twitter, Kakao Chat, etc.)
· Set up multiple profiles within one Hearthstone account
· Raids (cooperative play vs. a single, powerful boss)
· More in-depth display of achievements and statistics
· Recorded replay of your last match
· Chat channels beyond the emotes
· Paid tournaments
· "Observer" mode, allowing you to view live battles
· Additional, in-depth tutorials
· The ability to reorder cards in your hand
· Ability to replay the tutorial
· A "play again" option after a battle has concluded
There are some pretty interesting options here, but the fun doesn’t stop there. Blizzard also wants to know what pieces of content you’d be willing to pay for in the game. Here are the options:
· New art for each hero class
· Additional deck slots
· New card sets
· New card back artwork
· Additional in-game emotes
· New themed battle boards
These are just survey questions, so don’t take any of the individual answers as sure-fire additions to the final game. For now, just look at them as possible changes coming to what looks to be a future hit.
